OHS Announces Top Ten

It is a tradition at OHS to honor every student who finishes the year with an 85 average or above. Almost 50% of the entire senior class has an average of 85 and above. There are 41 students whose final averages are in the 90's. This is a testament to the academic achievement of this year's graduating class. 

The averages of the top ten students for 2013 are separated by only fractions of a point. These students were also honored recently.

Technology Students Design & Race Electric Vehicle

Technology students have spent the last two years designing and building their own electric vehicle for the CNY electrathon competition. This competition takes place every spring at Watking Glen Raceway. 

Electrathon is a type of Electric Marathon in which the winner is determined by how far you go in a certain time with a given amount of battery power. Electrathon class competitions use specific design rules to ensure safe and fair competition. Electrathon events are held around the country and are an exciting new environmentally progressive sport.

The goal of Electrathon is to provide a learning experience that will build public awareness of the capabilities and potential of efficient electric vehicles. Developed around specific rules designed to keep cost down and competition high, these unique vehicles offer an opportunity and challenge to experiment, learn, and compete. 

Students raced their vehicle against 17 other school teams from all over New York State. The team was required to pass a safety inspection prior to racing, and also required to change drivers halfway through the race. 

“I think it was a great experience for the students who attended. Even if they weren’t a driver, each student played an integral role in building and troubleshooting the vehicle up to and even during the race. I hope that we can make this an annual event for Oneida High School.”  - Mr. Wright, Electrathon Team Advisor



Adirondack Loveseat Gliders, made by OHS students
The EDD class at Oneida High School (Engineering, Design, & Development) is an engineering research course in which students work in teams to research, design, test, and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem.

The product development life-cycle and design process are used to guide and help the students reach a solution to the selected problem. This course allows students to apply all of the skills and knowledge learned in previous Project Lead The Way courses. The use of 3D design software helps students design solutions to their chosen problem. This course also engages students in time-management and teamwork skills, a valuable skill set for today's students. 

This year the EDD class designed and developed a prototype adirondack chair, while the carpentry class, built additional chairs off the prototype. One of the chairs will be raffled off on June 5th. Tickets are $5 each or $10 for 3. Proceeds go to materials costs for past and future projects. The adirondack chair is valued at $700.00, but sells for $450 from Mr. Straczuk at the high school. 



SchoolTool Parent Portal

The Oneida City School District uses SchoolTool as its Student Data Management System.  A component of this system is a secure, web-based portal for accessing student’s grades, attendance and other information. The District will be providing parents and guardians of students in grades 6-12 access to information in SchoolTool through the Parent Portal as a way of encouraging participation in a child’s education and improving communication between students, parents/guardians, and District Staff.
